Georgia: Eldrine Release Final Version

Georgia – Eldrine, the Georgian representatives at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest have revealed the revamped version of their entry “One More Day” today. A week ago the management of the band had announced that Tako Vadachkoria, who was the band’s lead singer at the Georgian national final, would no longer be the most recognizable face of the band as she would be replaced by Sopho Toroshelidze. Sopho had been one of the backing singers in last year’s Eurovision Song Contest for Sophia Nizharadze. She has also participated in the casting show “Star Academy”. She graduated from the Ivane Sarajishvili Tbilisi State Conservatoire and is said to have a brilliant voice. The new version of the song thus now includes Sophia’s vocals.

I have to agree with you about Tako’s replacement. With how quickly she was replaced after the national final, it definitely seems like she was pressured to leave the group. I still hope that it wasn’t pressured and that instead she decided that this course of action was what she wanted to do.

What on earth were they thinking? They have completely ruined this song. The new singer has completely the wrong vocal – her voice is not raspy enough for a rock tune like this. And they have killed the previous great intro, and all in all this sounds like a watered-down version of the original. Please have a re-think Georgia and go back to the original tune, and ideally the original vocalist. This was in my top 5, not it’s only top 10.
